President Obama addresses the nation Monday as he is sworn in for a second term. Through history, second inaugural speeches aren't always the most memorable, though Abraham Lincoln, calling on Americans to "bind up the nation's wounds," is a notable exception. Monday morning at 9 on the Sound of Ideas, we'll look at inaugurations past and at the task ahead for Obama: How will he set the tone for his second term? And what must he do to accomplish his agenda? Join host Mike McIntyre Monday at 9 on 90.3.
